What do you say to a family whose loss has given you a second chance at life?

That’s a question Bedford resident Carla Boyer, 46, has been asking herself since she received a kidney transplant just over two months ago.

Boyer knows the gender of her donor, though in an effort to protect the family, she prefers to keep that information to herself. She also knows her donor was the same age as she and that this person’s last wish was to donate every viable organ doctors could take.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 501 Main Street in Carrollton will be celebrating Our Savior’s Nativity, Friday, Nov. 30 from 6-8 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 1, 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Come and experience Bethlehem and see what it might have looked like the night of the Savior’s birth. Numerous nativity scenes will also be on display. If you would like to display your own nativity set please contact Sharon Graves, (502) 523-0663. Cookies and hot chocolate will be served.

November is Fine Amnesty Month. Reduce your late-materials fines and support the Carroll County Ministerial Association Food Bank. Fines will be forgive for every overdue item returned with the donation of a nonperishable food item.

Call the library at (502) 732-7020 for more information.

Wednesday, Nov. 21: Walk-away the pounds, 9 a.m.; close early at 5 p.m.
